I always make samples for demonstrating at classes and sometimes they get stashed away, like the beginning of these charming Funky Fowl. Some of the pieces were ironed onto fabric, but most of them were drawn onto fusible webbing that had lost all the webbing and I sort of kind of recalled some of the fabrics I wanted to use. Now I have two pillows in the making and I’m in love with the funky ladies all over again.Apparently I had a problem reading my own instructions so I cut one background too narrow and had to add little strips on the sides. I first tried adding them to the outer edges of the border but that did not look even half right so I unpicked them and switched everything around.

I also knitted the second sock of a pair of woolen socks for daughter so both her feet stay warm for the winter. Not bad for a Friday afternoon and night considering the always enjoyable company of grandson who left at 15:30 and a celebratory dinner out with husband.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 7 and 2 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 15 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
